Which 5 meals are included with the per weekend pricing?

Weekend groups will typically request Friday Dinner, Saturday Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner & Sunday Breakfast. This can be changed; groups can drop a meal like Friday Dinner or adding Sunday Lunch and the weekend cost will be adjusted with a credit or charge. We offer 5 meals with our base price just to simplify pricing when comparing with other locations.

Yes, we can also host more than 75 people total. However, our dining hall begins getting tight at higher numbers. Mt. Gilead can sleep 130 people total, so groups over 75 people should consider alternate meals times or outdoor seating for large groups.
